""Minority Rules" is breathtaking. Combining sophisticated cultural analysis with sharp attention to political economy, Schein illuminates not only the way the Miao have been constructed historically but how they shape their own identities through cultural performances, whether in state theater or for tourists."--Lila Abu-Lughod, author of "Veiled Sentiments" and "Writing Women's Worlds"
